Girubucuruzi is Kigali’s new weapon against poverty

Inspired by the success of Girinka, a national programme aimed at improving incomes among the rural poor by donating a cow to each family, the City of Kigali (CoK) has set up a fund to bankroll city dwellers that lack capital to start or expand their businesses.
The new programme will enable the poor to access loans ranging from Rwf500,000 to Rwf2m payable in two years. (File)
